  4. Wake Forest values individual academic achievement, initiative, talent and character above standardized testing. Therefore, submission of standardized test scores is optional for admission. If scores are submitted, they will be treated as supplemental information through the evaluation process.

    Students that have taken but not submitted SAT I Reasoning Test scores or ACT plus Writing scores will be required to do so upon enrollment. Scores will not be used for placement in freshmen classes.

    If submitting scores, score reports must be sent directly from the testing centers. To request scores be sent, contact:

    SAT
    www.collegeboard.com
    (609) 771-7600
    Wake Forest CEEB: 5885

    ACT
    www.act.org
    (319) 337-1270
    Wake Forest code: 3168

  5. Interviews: Because Wake Forest is a test optional institution, we strongly encourage all applicants to schedule an on campus interview. On campus interviews are available from June 1 - November 15. It is advisable to arrange your interview well in advance. If you are unable to visit campus for an interview, please contact the Admissions Office for other options.


High School Transcripts



Some North Carolina public high schools have the capability to electronically send official high school transcripts when you apply online. We encourage you to visit your school counselor to verify coursework and grades prior to requesting an electronic transcript.

To send an electronic transcript, you must:

  • Complete this online application.
  • Make sure you have entered the following information in your profile and/or application:
    • First and Last name - This must match your NCWISE name (use the name that appears on your report card, or check with your high school counselor).
    • NCWISE Student ID - Your NCWISE Student ID is your public high school student identifier number and can be found on your report card. Providing the NCWISE Student ID is voluntary and will give you the opportunity to request your high school transcript electronically.
    • Current high school (or high school at time of graduation)
    • Date of birth
    • E-mail address
    • Gender
  • Be currently enrolled, or enrolled at the time of graduation, at a participating public high school in North Carolina that has converted from the SIMS system to NCWISE to manage student data. If you are not sure about your school's current status, or status at the time you graduated, check with your school counselor or office staff.
If these conditions were met when you submitted your application, you will then be presented with the option of sending your high school transcript electronically to that school.
